VirginMediaTelevision IE

I've been gathering all the info to develop a new script for virginmediatelevision.ie given they moved away from Brightcove construct a few weeks ago. One thing I have noticed in my manual testing so far is 3 keys are provided from the licence request. That's no issue but they've been the same no matter what video I have tested to date.

For example, these are completely different shows/episodes.

Is that unusual ? First time I've come across it myself.

veeps.com used to have single key for all content. Only recently they changed it. Not really unusual, only a bad design choice. As long as you get the key the proper way and don't rely on it being constant, everything should be fine. Just to be safe, test the keys.

Yes definitely doing that. Hard coding stuff is the road to hell
